Carlos Drummond de Andrade
“No Brasil não há outono
mas as folhas caem

- In Brazil there is no autumn
but the leaves fall”
Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Alguma Poesia

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Netochka Nezvanova

Anton Chekhov
“Why are we worn out? Why do we, who start out so passionate, brave, noble, believing, become totally bankrupt by the age of thirty or thirty-five? Why is it that one is extinguished by consumption, another puts a bullet in his head, a third seeks oblivion in vodka, cards, a fourth, in order to stifle fear and anguish, cynically tramples underfoot the portrait of his pure, beautiful youth? Why is it that, once fallen, we do not try to rise, and, having lost one thing, we do not seek another? Why?”
Anton Chekhov, The Complete Short Novels

Breece D'J Pancake
“I was born in this country and I have never very much wanted to leave. I remember Pop's dead eyes looking at me. They were real dry, and that took something out of me.

From Trilobites”
Breece D'J Pancake, The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake

Frank O'Hara
“Kerouac: You're ruining American poetry, O'Hara.
O'Hara: That's more than you ever did for it, Kerouac”
Frank O'Hara
